How to Contribute

Before Sep 17:

  • Participate in votes and discussions to land or postpone the open KIPs
  • Review patches. We anticipate that this release will be bottlenecked mostly on reviews. The more reviewers, the more content we can fit in.
  • Write system tests. We want to preserve the tradition of high-quality releases in Apache Kafka. 

Between Sep 17 and Oct 3:

  • Open issues for any bugs found.
  • Submit and/or review bug fixes.
  • Write system tests. We will continue accepting system tests in the release branch.

After Oct 3:

  • Test the release candidates
  • Open bugs on important issues found
  • Submit and/or review patches for blocking bugs
  • Vote on RCs. Even though only PMC votes are binding, community votes are super important as we evaluate the readiness of the release
